Both twists will be explained in greater detail on the show's premiere Wednesday (8/7c, CBS).As usual, the contestants will live in a camera-rigged house where they backstab, yell at and sleep with fellow competitors until one lucky player walks away with $500,000.Summer TV: 24 (not-so) guilty pleasure showsWatch the clip below to take a tour of the new house, and check out all the new contestants below.
